Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this nursing home a favorable score in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B in this category, which is one of our more favorable grades. For patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 76.543205 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. There are several factors within this area. Many of these criteria relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we looked at was short-term care. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Short-term care grades are generally used to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
